Section 4
What Do You See? A girl is dropping an apple, creating a strobe picture. The apple is accelerating while traveling vertically downward. The green apple is being thrown outward. What Do You Think? The force behind the object is directly proportional to launch speed. If wind resistance is taken into account, the wind could be a factor as well as the mass of the object. The angle of launch is also directly proportional to the maximum distance.
Investigate 1a. No mater how high you hold the objects, it should stay the same. 2a. They should hit the floor at the same time. 3a. They should still hit the ground at the same time even though the distance has changed. 3b. Yes, the faster the object travels the further it travels. 3c.

4a. It will take less time to reach the target if it starts at a lower height. 5a. The whole time the person is being pushed, it will follow with the person throwing. 6a. The vertical component of a projectile decreases as it travels vertically but increases as it falls to the earth. The horizontal component does not change. 6b. Range is the maximum distance a projectile travels, speed of launch is directionally proportional to the range.
Physics Talk Summary: Projectiles are a common theme in most sports. Horizontal motion does not increase time in air as illustrated by the horizontally thrown coin and the coin that’s is dropped at the same time. Your first instinct tells you that the frop coin should fall first but this is not the solution as the horizontal component does not affect the vertical component. The two components are completely independent of each other. Acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s2.
Checking Up Questions 1. They will hit the ground at the same time because gravity is acting on both objects without wind resistance creating the same acceleration. 2. Vertical velocity is constantly changing because an object will accelerate 9.8m/s due to gravity. 3. At the apex of the throw, the velocity is 0.

What Do You See? A girl is kicking a projectile high in the air behind her. As it falls, it lands on another person’s head and bounces into the net.
What Do You Think? Angles impact the direction at which a projectile flies, the bigger the angle the higher it flies. The smaller the angle the more to the ground the ball goes. Also the speed at what it was launched impacts the distance directly. The harder it is launched the further it goes and vice versa.
Physics Talk Summary: Projectiles act upon two different non-related forces. One being horizontal force and velocity due to the speed and of the launch and the other being downward acceleration which is constantly at -9.8m/s which is not affected by launch. All projectiles are emitted in a parabola shaped arc (air resistance not included) The optimal angle for maximum distance of a projectile is 45 degrees. The smaller the angle the more horizontally it moves resulting in less hang time. The greater the angle the more vertically it moves resulting in more hang time.
Checking Up 1. Constant downward acceleration and horizontal acceleration. 2. A model must match reality in nature. 3. A 45 degree angle ensures greatest distance. Complimentary angles will result in the same distance traveled.
PTG 1. An angle of 45 degrees is the optimal angle for distance if the starting point and ending point is the same. 2a. Once over the angle of 45 degrees, the greater the angle smaller the distance the projectile will travel due to increased hangtime and vertical velocity. 2b. The greater the angle, the greater the range up to and including 45 degrees. 3a 60 degrees produces the same range as a 30 degree angle because they are complimentary angles. 3b. 75 degrees produces the same range as a 15 degree angle, they are complimentary. 4. It is almost impossible to launch oneself at 45 degrees because x velocity> y velocity which means the resulting angle is smaller. 5.

Bend your knees to a 90 degree angle, strain your knees then push up as hard as you can and direct the force towards the floor. The floor will then push up on you....lifting you up into the air.

Summary: Newton's third law of motion says for every force there is an equal but opposite force. All forces come in pairs. In a force diagram, all forces are shown acting on an object; in a free-body diagram, it shows all the forces acting on an object each represented by labels and arrows to show in what direction it is acting on. All forces come in pairs, so when you push or pull on an object, that object push or pulls on you with equal but opposite force.
Checking Up Questions 1. Newton's third law of motion says for every applied force, there is an equal and opposite force. AND all forces come in pairs. 2. With an equal force of gravity the mass pulls on the force 3. A free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object using arrows to show the direction of the force and every force is labeled.

Section 7
What do you see?
The person is measuring the force needed to pull a shoe on ice and on a rough surface. On the ice he is having an easy time but on the rough surface he is struggling.
What do you think?
Certain sports have different surfaces they play on and needs for the shoes, this is why the need different shoes.
Physics talk Summary: Force of friction is between the shoe and the surface. Pulling force=Force of friction, creating a net gain of 0. Normal force is acting on the shoe perpendicular to the bottom of the shoe.
Checking Up Questions 1. The net force is equal to 0 because force of friction=pulling force. 2. The coefficient of friction has no units of measurement because its a force divided by a force. 3. Force of friction is less than the pulling force creating constant speed.
Physics to Go
In order to walk around without slipping, you would want to increase friction.
When you are ice skating, you do not want to have friction so you can go faster and further on one stride.
The ground may have different patches of surface where friction is more than in other places.
There is a similar amount of friction on the terrain so they are wearing similar shoes.
7. Air and water have similar effects on motion in the resistance it gives to moving objects. This resistance is similar to sliding friction 8. Even with strong legs and the right shoes, acceleration cannot increase if there is a limit to force. 10. In order to avoid slipping and to have proper traction, friction is a very important force to have. In outdoor sports, people use cleats to better grip the ground to give better footing. 11. On a wet turf field a person wearing soccer flats is dribbling a soccer ball, he makes a sharp cut to the right but falls because he has flat bottomed shoes which do not have sufficient grip to keep his footing. 6. a.w= (1000)(9.8) w= 9,800N b..55=f/9,800 f=5,390 N c. -5390=1000a a=-5.39m/s^2 d.0=Vi+(-5.39)(6) Vi= 32.34 m/s; change in speed e. Originally he was going 32.24 m/s, he claimed he was going 29m/s but this was proved to be wrong. In order to stop in time, he had to stop short causing unneccesary danger to the cars around him. It took him 6 seconds to fully decelerate.
What do you think now? There are many surfaces one can play a sport on, each sport has a different coefficient of friction. So a person needs a different show for each surface because they need to compensate for the difference in the coefficient of friction.
Chapter 7 Investigate
Lab: Bowling with Blocks CP Physics Introduction: In our last chapter we discussed forces and motion. Newton stated that an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by another force. One of the forces that changes motion is friction. Friction opposes motion.
In this experiment we will slide a block of wood across a floor observing both the time and distance in which the object comes to rest.
Materials:
Piece of 2x4 (1)
Stop watch (1)
String (.5 m)
2.5 Newton scale (1)
Purpose
In this lab you will be measuring the coefficient of friction between a wooden block and the floor. You will work in pairs, but each individual must collect their own data.
Procedure
Part I: Measuring µ 1. Find the weight of the block in Newtons. 2. Place the block of wood on the floor and place a 1-kg mass on top of it. Use a spring scale to find the force needed to pull the block at constant speed. (Hint: make sure to pull the string parallel to the floor.) 3. Repeat 2 more times. 4. Use the problem solving method we went over in class to compute the coefficient of friction between the wood and the floor. 5. Write your µ on the board. 6. What is the percent difference between your value and that of the class average?
Part II: Chucking the Block 7. Quietly go into the hallway and stretch a 10 m tape along the hall. 8. You are to stand at the “0” and of the tape and your partner is to stand towards the other end. 9. You are to slide your block along the tape as if you were bowling. Be sure to release the block of wood as close to the starting point as possible. 10. Your partner is to record the time that your block is moving and distance it has traveled. Do not throw so hard that it goes past the end of the tape! 11. Repeat the experiment at least three times. Each trial will have different time/distance combinations. This is okay. 12. Switch roles so your partner can gather their data. 13. Use Newton’s Second Law to compute the rate at which the block was slowing. 14. Use the measured distance, calculated acceleration, and the final velocity to find your throwing speed (initial speed of the block). 15. Use kinematics again to find the time it took the block to stop. 16. Repeat for the other trials. 17. Calculated percent error between your measured time and calculated time for each trial.

Part III: Questions/Conclusion 1. What does the coefficient of friction in Part I mean? It determines how rough a certain surface is. 2. How does your µ compare to the µ of your classmates? Should your results be the same as everyone else’s in the class? Why or Why not? My µ was only 10% off from the class average. The results should be similar but no the same because the bottom of everyone’s boxes are different plus there might be an error in the measurement. 3. How well did your times agree? Was your percent error high or low? My times agreed to a certain point, the percent error was decent because it was neither lower than 10% nor higher than 20% 4. Does the theoretical physics we are doing in class seem to apply in the real world? Why or why not? Yes it applies when you look at the game of bowling, you can calculate the acceleration and initial velocity of the the bowling ball to find out what you could do to better yourself. 5. Describe at least 3 sources of experimental error. Be specific about how these errors would throw off your results. There could be errors when throwing the box and it hits the measuring tape, if the box bounces from the height it was dropped and the person timing the box is not close to the actual time.
POST THIS LAB ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL WIKI! Your instructor will email you a copy of the class data from Part 1 and this needs to be included as well.
TYPE YOUR CALCULATIONS. Pictures are no longer acceptable: you can use MathType in Word and then insert as a picture, or type directly into the wiki. Either way, be sure to work vertically down the page and leave enough space so that it is easy to understand.

What do you think? Each pole is rated for a certain weight, when the length of the pole is increased the spring in the pole is reduced if the weight rating stays the same. It needs to be flexible enough to bend but stiff enough to be able to spring you up.

Force is the intangible that makes an object move a certain way. In tennis, force exerted on the ball by a racket in order to make a ball move. While serving, one uses all of his/her body weight to wing with as much force as possible making the ball travel quickly. Because of the shape and the mass of the tennis ball it is a lot easier to exceed 100mph than a bowling ball
Section 4
What Do You See?
A girl is dropping an apple, creating a strobe picture. The apple is accelerating while traveling vertically downward. The green apple is being thrown outward.
What Do You Think?
The force behind the object is directly proportional to launch speed. If wind resistance is taken into account, the wind could be a factor as well as the mass of the object. The angle of launch is also directly proportional to the maximum distance.
Investigate
1a. No mater how high you hold the objects, it should stay the same.
2a. They should hit the floor at the same time.
3a. They should still hit the ground at the same time even though the distance has changed.
3b. Yes, the faster the object travels the further it travels.
3c.
4a. It will take less time to reach the target if it starts at a lower height.
5a. The whole time the person is being pushed, it will follow with the person throwing.
6a. The vertical component of a projectile decreases as it travels vertically but increases as it falls to the earth. The horizontal component does not change.
6b. Range is the maximum distance a projectile travels, speed of launch is directionally proportional to the range.
Physics Talk
Summary: Projectiles are a common theme in most sports. Horizontal motion does not increase time in air as illustrated by the horizontally thrown coin and the coin that’s is dropped at the same time. Your first instinct tells you that the frop coin should fall first but this is not the solution as the horizontal component does not affect the vertical component. The two components are completely independent of each other. Acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s2.
Checking Up Questions
1. They will hit the ground at the same time because gravity is acting on both objects without wind resistance creating the same acceleration.
2. Vertical velocity is constantly changing because an object will accelerate 9.8m/s due to gravity.
3. At the apex of the throw, the velocity is 0.

What Do You See?
A girl is kicking a projectile high in the air behind her. As it falls, it lands on another person’s head and bounces into the net.
What Do You Think?
Angles impact the direction at which a projectile flies, the bigger the angle the higher it flies. The smaller the angle the more to the ground the ball goes. Also the speed at what it was launched impacts the distance directly. The harder it is launched the further it goes and vice versa.
Physics Talk
Summary: Projectiles act upon two different non-related forces. One being horizontal force and velocity due to the speed and of the launch and the other being downward acceleration which is constantly at -9.8m/s which is not affected by launch. All projectiles are emitted in a parabola shaped arc (air resistance not included) The optimal angle for maximum distance of a projectile is 45 degrees. The smaller the angle the more horizontally it moves resulting in less hang time. The greater the angle the more vertically it moves resulting in more hang time.
Checking Up
1. Constant downward acceleration and horizontal acceleration.
2. A model must match reality in nature.
3. A 45 degree angle ensures greatest distance. Complimentary angles will result in the same distance traveled.
PTG
1. An angle of 45 degrees is the optimal angle for distance if the starting point and ending point is the same.
2a. Once over the angle of 45 degrees, the greater the angle smaller the distance the projectile will travel due to increased hangtime and vertical velocity.
2b. The greater the angle, the greater the range up to and including 45 degrees.
3a 60 degrees produces the same range as a 30 degree angle because they are complimentary angles.
3b. 75 degrees produces the same range as a 15 degree angle, they are complimentary.
4. It is almost impossible to launch oneself at 45 degrees because x velocity> y velocity which means the resulting angle is smaller.

What do you see?I see a person preparing to push off the wall in a chair with wheels, with his knees bent at a 90 degree angle. He then pushes off the wall keeping his legs straight as he moves away from the wall.
What do you think?
Bend your knees to a 90 degree angle, strain your knees then push up as hard as you can and direct the force towards the floor. The floor will then push up on you....lifting you up into the air.
Physics Talk
Summary: Newton's third law of motion says for every force there is an equal but opposite force. All forces come in pairs. In a force diagram, all forces are shown acting on an object; in a free-body diagram, it shows all the forces acting on an object each represented by labels and arrows to show in what direction it is acting on. All forces come in pairs, so when you push or pull on an object, that object push or pulls on you with equal but opposite force.
Checking Up Questions
1. Newton's third law of motion says for every applied force, there is an equal and opposite force. AND all forces come in pairs.
2. With an equal force of gravity the mass pulls on the force
3. A free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object using arrows to show the direction of the force and every force is labeled.

Bend your knees to a 90 degree angle and push up as hard as you can and direct the force towards the floor. The floor will then push up on you....lifting you up into the air.
Section 7
What do you see?
The person is measuring the force needed to pull a shoe on ice and on a rough surface. On the ice he is having an easy time but on the rough surface he is struggling.
What do you think?
Certain sports have different surfaces they play on and needs for the shoes, this is why the need different shoes.
Physics talk
Summary: Force of friction is between the shoe and the surface. Pulling force=Force of friction, creating a net gain of 0. Normal force is acting on the shoe perpendicular to the bottom of the shoe.
Checking Up Questions
1. The net force is equal to 0 because force of friction=pulling force.
2. The coefficient of friction has no units of measurement because its a force divided by a force.
3. Force of friction is less than the pulling force creating constant speed.
Physics to Go
7. Air and water have similar effects on motion in the resistance it gives to moving objects. This resistance is similar to sliding friction
8. Even with strong legs and the right shoes, acceleration cannot increase if there is a limit to force.
10. In order to avoid slipping and to have proper traction, friction is a very important force to have. In outdoor sports, people use cleats to better grip the ground to give better footing.
11. On a wet turf field a person wearing soccer flats is dribbling a soccer ball, he makes a sharp cut to the right but falls because he has flat bottomed shoes which do not have sufficient grip to keep his footing.

What do you think now?
There are many surfaces one can play a sport on, each sport has a different coefficient of friction. So a person needs a different show for each surface because they need to compensate for the difference in the coefficient of friction.
Chapter 7 Investigate
Lab: Bowling with Blocks
CP Physics
Introduction: In our last chapter we discussed forces and motion. Newton stated that an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by another force. One of the forces that changes motion is friction. Friction opposes motion.
In this experiment we will slide a block of wood across a floor observing both the time and distance in which the object comes to rest.
Materials:
Purpose
In this lab you will be measuring the coefficient of friction between a wooden block and the floor. You will work in pairs, but each individual must collect their own data.
Procedure
Part I: Measuring µ1. Find the weight of the block in Newtons.
2. Place the block of wood on the floor and place a 1-kg mass on top of it. Use a spring scale to find the force needed to pull the block at constant speed. (Hint: make sure to pull the string parallel to the floor.)
3. Repeat 2 more times.
4. Use the problem solving method we went over in class to compute the coefficient of friction between the wood and the floor.
5. Write your µ on the board.
6. What is the percent difference between your value and that of the class average?

Part II: Chucking the Block
7. Quietly go into the hallway and stretch a 10 m tape along the hall.
8. You are to stand at the “0” and of the tape and your partner is to stand towards the other end.
9. You are to slide your block along the tape as if you were bowling. Be sure to release the block of wood as close to the starting point as possible.
10. Your partner is to record the time that your block is moving and distance it has traveled. Do not throw so hard that it goes past the end of the tape!
11. Repeat the experiment at least three times. Each trial will have different time/distance combinations. This is okay.
12. Switch roles so your partner can gather their data.
13. Use Newton’s Second Law to compute the rate at which the block was slowing.
14. Use the measured distance, calculated acceleration, and the final velocity to find your throwing speed (initial speed of the block).
15. Use kinematics again to find the time it took the block to stop.
16. Repeat for the other trials.
17. Calculated percent error between your measured time and calculated time for each trial.

Part III: Questions/Conclusion
1. What does the coefficient of friction in Part I mean?
It determines how rough a certain surface is.
2. How does your µ compare to the µ of your classmates? Should your results be the same as everyone else’s in the class? Why or Why not?
My µ was only 10% off from the class average. The results should be similar but no the same because the bottom of everyone’s boxes are different plus there might be an error in the measurement.
3. How well did your times agree? Was your percent error high or low?
My times agreed to a certain point, the percent error was decent because it was neither lower than 10% nor higher than 20%
4. Does the theoretical physics we are doing in class seem to apply in the real world? Why or why not? Yes it applies when you look at the game of bowling, you can calculate the acceleration and initial velocity of the the bowling ball to find out what you could do to better yourself.
5. Describe at least 3 sources of experimental error. Be specific about how these errors would throw off your results.
There could be errors when throwing the box and it hits the measuring tape, if the box bounces from the height it was dropped and the person timing the box is not close to the actual time.
POST THIS LAB ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL WIKI! Your instructor will email you a copy of the class data from Part 1 and this needs to be included as well.
TYPE YOUR CALCULATIONS. Pictures are no longer acceptable: you can use MathType in Word and then insert as a picture, or type directly into the wiki. Either way, be sure to work vertically down the page and leave enough space so that it is easy to understand.

What do you think?
Each pole is rated for a certain weight, when the length of the pole is increased the spring in the pole is reduced if the weight rating stays the same. It needs to be flexible enough to bend but stiff enough to be able to spring you up.
